The GNOME versioning scheme is a bit of a mess; they stopped using stable/unstable oven/odd release cycles since GNOME 40 I think, but left each of the components the luxury to keep using it, which NetworkManager appears to be doing. 'guix refresh -u' picked 1.43 and I didn't give it much of an thought. In general, I think it's OK to carry the "unstable" releases of GNOME components, which in my experience are usually stable :-). > I noticed this because the update to 1.43.4 has an issue with my > (wired) connection not resuming from sleep when previously it did.

It's been reported 4 days ago; I guess let's wait to see if a hotfix will be made, as that seems a serious issue. Otherwise, if many Guix users are affected and no hotfix is on the horizon, we could consider reverting back to our older version. Does that sound reasonable? -- Thanks, Maxim
